Ouch, you guys are harsh.
The Clash may not have been the best punk band, but they were certainly one of the most influential bands to punk. And an entirely amazing band outside of the genre. If you listen to their albums, everything that they've done, it adds up to a hell of an accomplishment. Their music was, and continues to have an urgency to it that few bands have been able to accomplish, urgency with lasting power.
The Clash - S/T (1977) is one of my favourite albums beginning to end.
After the Clash Joe Strummer continued to create amazing and innovative music.
